It'll put price pressure on Intel, that's for sure, but I don't know if it'll make Intel work any faster on boosting performance. They're having enough trouble with process and yield as it is. It's interesting that this time around, if these numbers are true, AMD is not only faster performing and less costly, but also lower power. In the past they've always run hot, noisy, but cheap and fast-enough. Maybe their experience in optimizing GPU production is paying dividends here.
